if funding the government was actually up to republicans? according to their theory, since all taxes are bad, a republican congress and republican president should cut taxes down to zero. >> it's a very simple equation. tax increases destroy jobs. >> since taxes destroy jobs, the only logical tax rate for the republican party in washington to support would be zero. on everything. personal income, capital gains, gasoline, every single federal tax rate should be zero. that is the logic of the republican position. in the world in which this guy is considered the leadi ining intellectual of the anti-tax movement, if washington had no democrats, taxes could never go up. they could only go down and they'd eventually go to zero or just low enough to pay for the defense department and nothing else. right? i mean, that's 21st century republicanism. or is it? if you want to see a world with no democrats, there's no better place to go than wyoming. the state's entire congressional delegation is republican. that's two senators and only one congressman.
